Auburn, Ala. - From the Auburn 2020 plan in the 1990s to the recent CompPlan 2030, public input has been a hallmark of the City’s efforts to plan for the future. During the CompPlan 2030 process, the Opelika Road area was identified as one of the City’s most important commercial corridors, and as a prime candidate for reinvestment.

The City of Auburn will be looking to you again for input on a plan to Renew Opelika Road. On Wednesday, June 27 at 6:30pm, you’re invited to attend a public meeting to provide input to help develop a vision and goals for the future of the Opelika Road corridor. This will just be the first of many opportunities for public input during this planning process.

The final outcome of Renew Opelika Road will be a plan to guide the future development of Opelika Road and help ensure the area’s future commercial viability. The plan will help answer questions of how the community and City can support Auburn’s existing businesses and attract new destinations for residents. The plan will also reflect the most effective way to improve traffic flow, pedestrian accessibility and the overall look and feel that citizens envision for the Auburn community.

We want to hear what you think. For more information, contact Justin Steinmann with the City of Auburn Planning Department at 501-3045 or jsteinmann@auburnalabama.org.
